You are partly right

You are right, a lot of players take an overly technical approach. And GNOME Music has a nice UI doing it differently. But on the other hand it's missing key features like gapless playback and replay gain; heck, you can't even change the music directory, it always looks into ~/Music.
And IMHO you're also missing the point about iTunes. It was not about the new music overview, this is great and I like it. It is about the missing sidebar, the mix-in between shop and your local music collection as well as Apple Music. These three problems make iTunes very hard to use, I am constantly looking for my music and am constantly confused about the navigation state.
